I have little doubt that being poor leads to lots of other problems. (Source: was poor growing up, relative to most here) It's a far greater leap to say that being (for example) black is hugely more important than being poor, being ugly, being short, being aspy, being disabled, having mental health issues or parents with mental health issues, etc. Beyond that, even to the degree that one is a minority, it's not clear that the well-intended actions taken on their behalf are actually even helpful.
